Pathways Towards Integration

The Pathways Towards Integration programme is built on the original message of the Committee of Good Will – Olga Havel Foundation: helping handicapped children and adults to integrate into society, enable them to enjoy living conditions equal to others. Extensive programme Pathways towards integration was one of the first programmes of the Committee of Good Will – Olga Havel Foundation.

The Foundation provides contributions to individuals and non-profit organisations, which provide quality and modern social services to people in need. The Foundation contributes as much as it can and tries to help especially those who would not otherwise be able to purchase the needed aids. It contributes to purchasing medical aids, rehabilitation and compensation aids, and carefully monitors their proper usage.

Application process is open throughout the whole year. (The Board of Directors meets once a month and evaluates applications received.)

„We wish that the right for dignified life is also enjoyed by those who live with handicap or mental illness, abandoned and old people, those who have a different skin colour or a different way of life, those in poverty or attacked by a malignant disease.“
